HOFFMAN ESTATES — A Glen Ellyn man was charged with aggravated fleeing and eluding and driving under the influence of alcohol Thursday, a day after police said he led officers on a chase from Hoffman Estates to Bolingbrook.

James R. Van Eaton, 48, of the 1100 block of Surrey Drive, also was charged with criminal damage to state supported property, criminal damage to property, violating an order of protection and 13 traffic offenses, said Hoffman Estates Police Sgt. Joe Perritano.

The chase started early Wednesday after police officers were called to a Hoffman Estates home by a woman who complained that Van Eaton was on her property in violation of an order of protection, Perritano said.

He said Van Eaton fled in a black sedan at speeds of at least 100 m.p.h.
